Sorry folks - is the site still slow for you? We're definitely getting reports from a lot of people about slowness, but it appears to be intermittent and we're still trying to track down the source. Please let us know if you are still experiencing slow page loads.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully we'll get this all sorted out shortly.

Ah yes, you definitely need cookies enabled to log on. Thanks for sharing your solutions with us. And the email address is a good suggestion - thanks.

Can you tell me where you see "sent" popping up? When you click on "Mail" at the top of the screen, once the page finishes loading there should be a "Sent" link in the row below the main navigation, 2nd from the left. Click on that and you should be able to see your sent messages.

Is that the link that is disappearing on you? If so, can you tell me what browser and operating system you are using?

That's a bug - we'll get that fixed ASAP. Thanks for letting us know.

And yes - we're asking people to try to post serious responses only to posts in the help sections. The reason is that we have new people joining the site with questions, to which people are posting smart-alecky responses. It's just not a very nice way to welcome people who are trying to understand how Free App Dating works.

We don't want to put a damper on the fun of the forums, but we also want to make sure that users who need help get the answers they need.

You don't need to click on reply. When you are reading a message, at the bottom of the message, you'll see an area where you can write your reply right on the same page. You can immediately start typing in that box - there's nothing you need to hit before doing so. Just type your reply in the box and hit "Send Message" - that will send your reply.

Great! We'll keep watching it, so definitely let us know if it still seems slow.

OK, we just launched some changes that hopefully should make every page load a bit faster. Let us know if it seems any better or not.

Thanks again for your patience everyone, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for letting us know folks. We are working on a fix and should have something in place shortly. Hopefully you should see some improvements by the end of day tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we will definitely do our best to get this issue resolved ASAP.

Sorry drb52, that was actually a bug. Email alerts were being sent when someone added you as a favorite regardless of your email preferences.

Thanks for letting us know about the issue. We believe it should be fixed now, so if you still receive any more email alerts, please let us know and we'll look into it ASAP.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It should be fixed now - there was a glitch with one server that we've repaired. If it's still slow, please let us know, but on our end, everything is much zippier now.

And for the record, the problem server would have slowed down JSH also...

Have you tried using the "Forgot my password" link on Free App Dating to have your password resent to you? Try that and login with what was sent to you and let us know if it's working or not.

What browser and operating system are you using?

What browser and operating system are you guys using? And can you describe in a little more detail what's happening with the ads?

I think this may have been fixed - can you try again and let us know if you are still having a problem?

What is CA? We don't use spyware at all on the site. The only thing you may get are some cookies from ads, but they can't harm your computer.

Can you tell me what CA so I can check it out? I would like to see why it is giving so many false positives.

No, the pages will still exist on the site. We don't delete old topics or old posts. They just won't be accessible through your "Posts by XXXXX" page. So they won't be gone forever - you just need to be able to find them.

We would like to add a search function to the forums very shortly, so hopefully that will help you achieve what you are trying to do.

Oh I see, you meant more than 25 PAGES of posts, not more than 25 posts.

The issue with allowing users to go back further than that is that it is very server intensive to allow users to go back that far. That's why we capped the old posts at 25 pages. We could possibly increase it somewhat, but as the site matures, we now have users who have posted tens of thousands of posts, and letting them look up their first post can consume a lot of server resources.

Unfortunately, I think the best thing for you to do is to use JSH while you can to copy and paste those original posts into a word doc as was suggested. Even if we were to keep JSH up, we would limit the number of pages you could lookup to just 25. The only reason we haven't done so is because we knew JSH would be shutting down.

Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

Jess - what are the problems you are having? We obviously want to get any bugs fixed up ASAP, so just let us know and we'll make sure they get corrected.

Which page are you referring to? You should be able to go back to more than the last 25 posts you've made. For example, to see all of the posts you've made, I can just click on the number below your picture which takes me to:

https://Free App Dating/forum/show_posts_by_user/414775

..and from that page, I can go back and see further than just the last 25 posts.

Does that help?

In fact, if you can, when this happens to you again, can you copy and paste the URL of the page and send it to me in a MAIL message? Please don't post it on the forum, just send it to me in a mail message.

If you don't know what a URL is, it's the web address in your browser that indicates what page you are on, i.e. "https://Free App Dating/topic/show/160573"
